Little tip old chap - I’ve been there and done it in terms of country road blowouts, one thing you really need to be doing is keeping both hands on the wheel. You’re doing 60mph plus and with only one hand on the wheel, you have little control if you catch a patch of oil or a pothole. The first you’ll know about it is the wheel snatching out of your hand. Drive safely mate.

I can't wait until I get my drivers license.

bro your struggling to drive that ......suggest a Nissan micra 1ltre 02 model for you

love that you can bump any tunes over this video

My first turbo'd car. Was great fun with the sport button on

Good vid! No stopping u around those corners

Great run!

wow. never thought I'd see an astra be too powerful for someone hahahaha

The uk does have some nice roads tbh

I recognise that road....very fun on a bike

these are the types of people I would have 0 sympathy for if they crashed

I love my wee astra it's my first car and it does the job

It seems to be quiet a drivers car? Have you driven Focus mk2?

two hands on the wheel much safer!

I have astra 2006 1.6 petrol im happy very nice car

Can't wait until I get my licence. Still got my theory test to do. Not even had a lesson yet unfortunately

Having guys like this in the roads is really dangerous. Glad I don't live in the UK

Engine actually sounds good ngl

Is this 1.4 litres or 1.6 litres?

No doubt will be my first car

What engine size is this astra?

What engine is in the astra?

Try not to rest your hand on the gear as it puts pressure underneath and can damage it really badly

What a sound 0:57

Im thinking of getting this for my first car next year, I can drive currently just need to get my license and everything done. Is this a good first car also i need the money for it but its not too expensive

U live in north east of England because I do and which venture service was that

What engine does it have?

1:16 SLOW but he still speed up :D Love opels

His insurance company :👁👄👁

Pro driver like me ;) keep cuts more buddy

Half way through your speedometer so you're somewhere around 60-70mph....videos from Europe always seem so fast on those right roads, seems like you're going a lot faster then you actually are.....70mph on a US road feels like a crawl !

good car....better than the corsa E i drive

Was that a Vauxhall Astra 1.8

what engine is this astra 1.7 or 1.9

Nice vid. Are you driving a 1.9?

Put on sports mode Did you oh sorry if I said put on sports mode

thats just waaaayy too quick

Astra year?

Where was this filmed

Wow dry steer much

I feel like these cars have very stiff steering for some reason

Note: Most people in the Stanley/Consett area of the North East don't drive like an unskilled tool.

Looks to fast 🙁🙁🙁😢💨

Go north east

I do hope your engine was hot before you revved the fuck outta it

slow fun car > too much power

Gearbox won’t last using that method

Shit

You’re spending too long in lower gear, especially gear 1&2

Poor driving skill and attitude plus were you even wearing your seat belt??

too fast for these country roads mate they can be real shitholes for traffic coming the other way or hitting a pothole etc.

Horrific driving, no skill at all!!

Typical Englishman drives slower than a turtle, and imagines that he is fast in this country so full. daily confronted with these eagles. so I went to Central Europe as well and stay seated machine, is afraid of the local movements of the instructor level here is very low ...
